Abstract
I discuss three layers of aging in this paper, aging of characters in the novel “L’Étranger,” aging of institutions including marriage and healthcare system, and lastly, aging of the text itself with respects to how it became a classic reading, how decolonization of Algeria affects the reading of the novel, and how readers’ own aging can impose new meanings on the text during the process of reading and re-reading. The primary goal of this paper is to evoke new interpretations of aging from a theoretical approach. With the help of a revolutionized mindset, new solutions to accommodate the booming aging population will be more likely to emerge.
